"They do a great job and it is definitely very effective.  I also have problems with the cost.  They are here like 3 quarters of an hour and it’s $118, it seems high.  That’s the only part of what I pay because in addition to the spray where they come 4 times a year, they also come 4 times a year and do a... they have a big system where they put these things in the ground to have the wood inside the thing and this 42 station around the house and they go around the house to check and see if termites are involved in, you know, be attracted to the bait.  When you go down south or even out west to California, termites are an issue.  If you have a piece of wood on the ground, termites will find it.  The baiting station system is very effective in two ways, one it tells you if the termites are actually in the vicinity of your own wood.  The house is built to be termite proof but there are still ways for them to get in.  The other thing they do is, they tell you the bait home to their own nest, so if they are active but they are not getting in your house, you still can control them from a distance because they tell you to bait home and it kills some of the termites in the nest, I think it may kill the queen stuff like that.  The 42 station is well worth it but they are also very expensive.   I give them nay on that.  The quality is very good.  I always get together with the guy when he comes and we go around together, look at all the stations.  I know he does a good job.  He always calls when he is on the way. "

"Used Blackhawk for termite services after getting bids from multiple companies. Awesome service! Most knowledgable and took the time to educate me along the way ONLY selling me what I needed and yet still willing to stand behind their work. I highly recommend them for all your pest control needs. You won't be dissapointed."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for termites to damage a house varies, but it generally does not happen within days or weeks. Significant structural damage typically takes several months or years to occur, with serious damage often taking 3 to 8 years. The rate of destruction depends on factors like the termite colony's size and maturity, the type of wood they are feeding on, and local conditions. It can take 3 to 5 years for damage to become visible and 5 to 6 years for the home's structural integrity to be compromised. However, some species, such as Subterranean termites, are more destructive and can cause extensive damage in as little as 2 years. Because of this risk, it is important to treat your home as soon as you notice any signs of termites.

No, phorid flies do not bite humans or animals. However, they can still be harmful to humans. Since phorid flies feed on decaying organic matter and are found in unsanitary conditions, they can transmit disease organisms onto foods and food preparation surfaces. If you suspect that your home has a phorid fly infestation, protect your health by taking immediate action to eliminate it.

You’ll find groundhogs are most active during the morning hours and late afternoon, but they want to avoid humans at all costs. If you do set a trap, you can set it out the night before so it’s waiting on them the next morning, and try to remove any human scent when setting it out.

Besides reptile sightings, look for droppings resembling small pellets. Shed skin left behind during growth is another clue. Unusual chirping or rustling sounds could also suggest an infestation. If unsure, consulting a professional can provide accurate identification and effective solutions for managing the situation. If proper pest prevention measures aren't taken, a lizard can live up to five years. And that's a long time to have an undesirable roommate.

While it may cost more to hire an exterminator than trying to treat the problem yourself, a professional is worth hiring if you have a major infestation. If the problem is severe and the ants are causing damage to your home, then DIY methods may not be as effective as a professional treatment. Plus, if you have carpenter or fire ants it’s best not to risk the damage they can cause to your home.
